Uncle Ray

[00:12.18] Uncle Ray is gone, a relative they couldn't find
[00:15.68] Finally free of his insanity, they covered him with lime
[00:21.85] In a ditch outside the old junkyard on 17
[00:26.34] Well that crazy drunk I swear he was a gentleman to me
[00:31.89] So take him far far away
[00:34.64] Take him far far away
[00:37.41] Out past all discussions, far from what they said
[00:41.59] Take him far far away
[00:43.75] Take him far far away
[00:46.02] Cause we're sort of related
[00:50.22] Here lies Uncle Ray
[01:03.14] Dry rough skin, his hands, a working man, like bark from trees
[01:06.88] He'd come to the back door of my familiy's house
[01:10.14] For coffee and something to eat
[01:13.38] Pushed a shopping cart all filled with junk and empty cans
[01:17.24] He came home from the war to find his wife
[01:21.34] Now loved another man
[01:23.79] So take him far far away
[01:25.99] Take him far far away
[01:28.55] Out past all discussions, far from what they said
[01:33.24] Take him far far away
[01:35.41] Take him far far away
[01:37.83] Cause we're sort of related
[01:40.36] Here lies Uncle Ray
[02:03.95] In this photograph we're hand in hand in deep white snow
[02:07.75] Ray was 65 and nearly blind, and I was 4 or so
[02:14.30] All the neighbors used to laugh and throw snowballs at him
[02:18.66] Now I live alone and when it snows
[02:21.80] I try not to think of them
[02:25.39] So take him far far away
[02:27.56] Take him far far away
[02:30.18] Out past all discussions, far from what they said
[02:34.57] Take him far far away
[02:36.52] Take him far far away
[02:39.52] Cause we're sort of related
[02:42.17] Cause we're sort of related
[02:48.86] Cause we're sort of related
[02:51.54] Here lies Uncle Ray
[02:57.56] Here lies Uncle Ray...
